INQERSQL'S ELOQUENCE. LAST TRIBUTE TO HIS DEAD BROTHER IN WASHINGTON. Washington, June" 3. The funeral of Hon. Ebon C. lngersoll, brother of Col. Robert G. lngersoll of Illinois, took place at his residence this afternoon. The cere monies were extremely simple, consisting merely of viewing the remains by relatives and friends and a most eloquent and impres sive funeral oration by Col. lngersoll. A large number of distinguished gentlemen were present, including Secretary Sherman, Senators Voorhees, Paddock, Allison, Gov. Pound and others. The following is the oration of Col. lngersoll, which was receiv ed by all present With "marks of deep and sincere feeling and sympathy : My Friends I am going to do that which the dead often promised he woald do for me. The loved and loving brother, hus band, father, friend, died where manhood's morning almost touches noon, and while the shadows still were falling toward the west. He had not passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point, but, be ing weary for a moment, belay down by the wayside, and using his burden for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down his eyelids still. While yet in love with life ami raptured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust. Yet, after all, it may be best just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage, while eager winds are kissing every sail, to dash against the unseen rock and in an instant to hear the the billows roar around a sunken ship : for whether in midsea. or 'mong the break ers of the further shore, a wreck must mark at last the epd of each and all. And every life, no matter if its every hour is rich with love and ever moment jewelled with a joy, will, at its close, become a tragedy as sad and deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and woof, of mystery and death. This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock ; but in the sun's time he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He clambered the heights and left all superstitions far be llow, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning ot a grander day. He loved the beautiful and was with color, form and mu sic touched to tears. He sided with the weak, and with a willing hand gave alms ; with a loyal heart and with the purest hand he faithfully discharged all public trusts. He was a worshipper of liberty ; a friend of the oppressed. A thousand times I have heard him quote the words, " For justice all places are a temple and all seasons sum mer." He believed that happiness was the only good, reason the only torch, justice the only worshiper, humanity the only religion and love the priest. He added to the sum of human joy, and were every one for whom he did some loving service to 1 ring a blos som to his grave, he would sleep to-night beneath a wilderness of flowers. Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to iook beyond the heights. We cry aloud and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voice less lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word, but the night of death. Hope sees a star and listening love can hear the rustle of a wiBg. He who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking the approach of death for the return of health, whispered with his last breath, "lam better now." Let us believe in spite of doubts and dogmas and tears and fears, that these dear words are true of all the countless dead. And to you who have been chosen from among the many men he loved, to do the last sad office for the dead, we give his sa cred duet. Speech cannot contain our love. There was, there is no gentler, stronger, manlier man. There were no ceremonies whatever at the grave, but a pathetic scene occurred when the Misses Lawlor, daughters of the late Gen. Lawlor, and adopted children of Ebon C. lngersoll, to whom they were devotedly attached, took their last leave of their dead foster father. One of them fainted in being taken to her carriage and the other lingered at the grave until almost forcibly led away by her friends. " Whatever promises a man may make before marriage," said Jerrold, "the license is as a receipt in full." A base and irreclaimable philosopher has said : " Woman is a clock that runs slow after five-and-twenty." In the United States there are 530 females practicing as doctors, 420 as dentists, five as lawyers and 68 as preachers. rflHE CITIZENS OF CORVALLIS ARE CORDIALLY J invited to join the pleasant excursion party form ing for the purpose of visiting Puget Sound, on the 9 4 Yi .-,f limn Tha avimMinn la fi tho hnnaflt. ftf t K ptfethodist Episcopal church, and will be made every way entertaining and desirable tor those seeking health, recreation or pleasure.

Ed.Ga- ZETTE. TESTIMONIALS ; Albant," April 20, 1879. The undersigned physicians of Albany, having seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex plained, together with the chemicals used, will say, that as used, we do not consider there is any danger to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona ble, and wo can assign no cause why the process should not prove a success. J A. Davis, M. D., J. L. Hill, M. D., C. C, Kellt, M. D. D, B. Rice, M. D., H. J. Bouohtor, M. D. Corvallis, April 24, 1879. The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon, having had explained to us Ames' process for preserv ing meats, etc. , can say that there is nothing un healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need be apprehended on that account. Wo have also seen meat, fish, butter, etc., that has been kept several weeks by this "process," and believe that its claims to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and fresh can be sustained.
